Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a disease of the hematopoietic stem cell characterized by a median age at diagnosis of 60–65 years according to most epidemiologic registries. Prior to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) era, older age was considered an adverse prognostic factor and was included in two of the most used scoring systems for CML, the Sokal score and the Euro score. Moreover, older age was generally considered a limitation for the use of allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, given the higher toxicity observed. After the introduction of TKIs, age lost much of its prognostic impact in patients in chronic phase (CP), and the EUTOS score, developed in patients treated with imatinib, did not identify age as a risk variable. However, most CML patients require life-long treatment; therefore, as patients age while taking a TKI, the complexity of the management of elderly patients may increase over time. To date, imatinib, the first TKI introduced, and two second-generation TKIs, nilotinib and dasatinib, have been approved in most Western countries for the first-line treatment of CML. These drugs differ in terms of efficacy, safety, and costs; therefore, knowledge of their characteristics is extremely relevant for optimal management of elderly CML patients. We reviewed the impact of age on the first-line treatment of CP CML patients in the TKI era, considering the epidemiology of the disease, the role of comorbidities, and analyzing data from population-based studies and clinical trials.
